The Delhi BJP on Monday staged a demonstration outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence demanding an effective price cut of ₹10 each in diesel and petrol through a reduction in Value Added Tax (VAT).
Led by Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta and Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, the party issued a warning that it would stage a demonstration outside the Chief Minister’s residence every day till the VAT was reduced.
The BJP MLAs said that the Central Government had done a great job of providing relief to the public by reducing the excise duty by ₹10 for diesel and ₹5 for petrol, and now it was the turn of the State Governments to take a step forward.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
